15+ Years experience as a goaltender 20+ Years experience playing hockey

Bio:

Jean-Michel started playing hockey at the age of 4 where he played as a forward for several seasons. After trying a few games as a goaltender, he decided that being a goaltender was his natural position. The first year he was a full-time goaltender confirmed that he was playing the right position. The following year, he was retained in a competitive team, besting a few more experienced goaltenders. He went on to play competitively for a few years eventually playing as a goaltender and defenceman for his high school team. During his high-school he played in the "tournois franco-ontarien" (a tournament between all french ontario high-school hockey teams) as starting goaltender.

After high school, he continued playing hockey in various men's leagues. He now plays an average of 2 games a week during both the winter and summer and is a goalie coach for Phil Martin's Goalie Academy in Ottawa.
